Most of us do not have the opportunity to see a coil of coinage strip with a lamination visible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW, a clad dime is laminated as three layers of metal are bonded together.&nbsp; This is a dime with a double &quot;clam shell&quot; error when the three layers &quot;delaminate.&quot;&nbsp; This is not the type of lamination we are writing about.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
